world war 3
Is there a possible World War 3? Such question can be increasingly heard from radio speakers and be read on the pages of political magazines. Such assumptions relate primarily to the war in Syria and the Ukrainian tense political situation in which experts see a possible cause for conflict of interests of other countries that may lead to a new world war.

Since March 2011, unrest in Syria have not cease and managed to develop into a fierce religious war and, according to some, has already claimed the lives of about 93 thousand people. If recently the war in Syria might seem an internal conflict, now the Ukrainian crisis can be drawn into a bloody fight between major world powers. Now there are more and more of assumption that the Russian invasion in Ukraine could be the beginning of World War III, which nuclear weapons may be used.

At the moment, the U.S. is the most interested side of fueling the conflict in Syria. They have long been eyeing Ukraine, and the Russia invasion in the Ukrainian South-East region, which occurred this spring in Lugansk and Donetsk, gave the U.S. a legitimate reason to intervene in the conflict. Without presenting any formal evidence, the U.S. laid the blame for the violence on the east border of Ukraine on the Russian attempts to split the country according to Kremlin’s plan and expressed commitment to support the Ukrainian anti-terroristic operation in the region!

The same pattern was developed a few years ago prior the U.S. invasion of Iraq. It seems that the situation is repeated.

The U.S. determined to introduce sanctions on Russia, and they are not alone in its decision “to stand up for the Ukrainian people and to release it from under the yoke of authoritarian rule.” They are joined by Turkey, United Kingdom, France, and some other countries. Russia’s actions, on the contrary, was to call to prevent World War III, based on unsubstantiated speculation by the U.S. government, for whom the war in Ukraine could be

    With the introduction of chemical warfare, a much greater risk is posed to neighboring friendly and partner countries in the region, particularly Israel, Jordan, Turkey, and Iraq. If the United States shows weakness towards Syria, or pulls back from its stance on the use of chemical weapons, the Assad regime could feel motivated to carry out more attacks, possibly outside of its immediate border. Any show of weakness would also embolden Syria to begin facilitating trade with local insurgent groups (Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, etc…) that would then use the weapons against U.S. allies in the region. Each witness today has…

    For more than two centuries, Russia and the United States have shared a diplomatic relationship. Whether that involved trading or the military. Foreign relations between the former Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex set of ideologies, political agendas, and economic factors, which led to the superpower rivalry that has been on display over the past two-hundred years. Presidents from both nations have been involved, from President Ronald Reagan to most recently, President Barack Obama. For Russia, the most well-known leader was Vladimir Putin, the “geopolitical wrecking ball.”…

    The ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings that started three years ago resulted in a major shifting of the Arab political landscape and brought about the overthrow of a number of deep-seated and oppressive regimes and dictators like in Libya, Tunisia, Yemen and Egypt. However, the uprising in Syria remains unresolved and has evolved into a bloody civil conflict, caused so much casualties which has left destruction, lawlessness, and fear across the country. A resolution to the conflict has yet to be found, and thus far the international community has been mired in its inability to decisively influence the situation in Syria. That being said, military intervention is what the U.S. has been thinking to solve the issue on Syria. Although this method has been used in the past to stop further conflicts, due to the unique circumstances involved with Syria (sectarianism, dense population, threat of an expansion of the conflict into a regional war, relative strength of the Syrian military). Personally I think it is just not the right thing to do.…
